Meanwhile, Poland’s defence chief Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz said that the army would examine 120 kilometres of the Warsaw-Lublin-Hrubieszów line, which links the capital to Ukraine by rail and road.
A railway line linking Warsaw to southeastern Poland was damaged by a weekend explosion that Prime Minister Donald Tusk called an “unprecedented act of sabotage”.
Tusk, who visited the site on Monday, said the line is “crucially important for delivering aid to Ukraine.”
“Unfortunately, the worst fears have been confirmed,” the Polish leader said in a statement Monday.
“An act of sabotage has occurred on the Warsaw-Lublin route. An explosion has destroyed the railway track.”
A friendly reminder that 1.5% of Nato countries’ GDP will be earmarked for security measures that are considered ‘non-military’ - e.g., sabotage acts like this one, arson attacks, cyber attacks, …
… in other NATO states?
What’s more likely: Using the money for stirring internal conflict in the own alliance or using it as a slush fund for prestige projects?
This is an absurdly weird comment.
More so than a comment suggesting NATO members are using the new budget to sabotage themselves? How?
Themselves? Naah, one recent report links 110 sabotage attacks in Europe to Russia, and this is just one report. There are so many more.
So what are you even trying to argue?
No, it’s budget against sabotage. As they said: security measures…
Tbf offensive attacks are sometimes considered “security measures” as well.
